Overview

Trade is a ready-made vehicle for dirty money. A basic technique used in trade for laundering money is misinvoicing. This is done by undervaluing imports or overvaluing exports to bring money into a country (and the reverse to get money out).

The ICA Specialist Certificate in Trade Based Money Laundering provides you with an opportunity to look at the AML and CTF models used to address the risks that exist within the international trade environment. The course will also investigate some of the practical issues faced, where breaching money laundering requirements can cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
